Compute the local minima of the given function by using gradient descent algorithm by taking
step size as 0.15 and initial point as (2,2). Perform three iterations.

CLO #3: Solve problems involving maxima and minima, line integral and surface integral, and vector calculus.
Question 4 [10 marks]
(a) 5 points Given the three points P1 (1, 4), P2 (5, 2), and P3 (3, −2). Let

G(x, y) = (x − 1)2 + (y − 4)2 + (x − 5)2 + (y − 2)2 + (x − 3)2 + (y + 2)2

is the sum of the squares of the distances from point P (x, y) to the three points (P1 , P2 , &P3 ).
Find the values of x and y so that this G(x, y) is minimized.

Solution:

Gx = 2(x − 1) + 2(x − 5) + 2(x − 3) = 6x − 18 = 0 ⇒ x = 3

so critical point is (3, ).

(b) 5 points Use Lagrange multipliers to find the maximum and minimum values of the
function subject to the given constraint. Also find the points at which these values occurs.

f (x, y) = x2 + y 2 ; xy = 1.

Solution: We have ▽f = λ ▽ g ⇒ 2xi + 2yj = λ(yi + xj)
2y
⇒ 2x = λy ⇒ λ = 2x y and 2y = λx ⇒ λ = x . On equating these two equations,
we get x2 = y 2 ⇒ x = ±y. Then g(x, y) gives y 2 = 1 ⇒ y = ±1 and x = ±1, and
f (1, 1) = 2 = f (−1, −1) is the minimum value. No maximum value as function is the
sum of the squares of x and y.
